Marx's critique of the capitalist system is rife with big themes: his theory of 'surplus value', his discussion of the exploitation of the working class, and his forecast of class conflict on a grand scale.

Edward Bibbins Aveling fut un notable instructeur de biologie anglais et un porte-parole largement reconnu de l'évolution darwinienne, de l'athéisme et du socialisme. Membre fondateur de la Socialist League et de l'Independent Labour Party, il est l'auteur de nombreux livres et brochures. L'œuvre d'Aveling a considérablement influencé le discours public sur la pensée scientifique et politique de son époque. Son engagement envers le libre-pensée et l'humanisme séculier fut évident tout au long de sa prolifique carrière de conférencier et d'éditeur.
Capital , one of Marx's major and most influential works, was the product of thirty years close study of the capitalist mode of production in England, the most advanced industrial society of his day. This new translation of Volume One , the only volume to be completed and edited by Marx himself, avoids some of the mistakes that have marred earlier versions and seeks to do justice to the literary qualities of the work. The introduction is by Ernest Mandel, author of Late Capitalism , one of the only comprehensive attempts to develop the theoretical legacy of Capital.
